Undead Variants
Current Features
Drowned Villager
Rumors speak of villages once lost beneath the water.
Those who failed to escape became something else.
- Villagers killed by Drowned convert into Drowned Villagers
- Follows vanilla drowning conversion rules (continuous submersion → conversion begins → irreversible completion)
- Capable of using tridents, matching Drowned combat behavior
- May replace a portion of naturally spawned Drowned under certain conditions
Drowned Piglin
When water swallows a ruined portal, the change may not stop at stone.
- Piglins convert after prolonged submersion, following vanilla conversion rules
- Retains its Piglin identity while adopting Drowned movement and combat behavior
- Fully capable of trident-based ranged attacks
Zombified Piglin Brute
Some figures near Bastion remnants move differently.
What leaves the Nether does not always return diminished.
- Piglin Brutes convert into this variant when leaving the Nether
- Near Bastion Remnants, may replace a portion of naturally spawned Zombified Piglins
- Designed with a more aggressive melee profile:
- Increased health
- Increased attack damage
- Higher movement speed
- Equipped with a golden axe by default
- Retains zombie-style reinforcement mechanics
Husk Villager
Drought and famine do not always leave empty streets.
Under long seasons of sand and scarcity, some villagers take on another form.
- Villagers killed by Husks convert into Husk Villagers
- Immune to sunlight burning
- Applies the Hunger effect on successful attacks
Zombie Wandering Trader
The wandering trader survives by instinct.
Even death does not entirely erase that behavior.
- Wandering Traders killed by Zombies may convert on Normal and Hard difficulty
- During daytime, drinks milk to remove negative effects
- At night, drinks an invisibility potion
- Day/night behavior follows standard Overworld time
